Historical Accuracy

The “G” version was the last and most widely produced variant, taking part in many key Allied operations over Europe in 1943–1945. The Wright R-1820 Cyclone engines, recreated by the Aires set, were the heart of this powerful bomber, providing it with power and reliability during long combat missions.
